But let’s look further. First, the light balance and exposure is exceptional. The car itself is perfectly exposed and so are the accent lights in the ceiling, the floor, and inside the windows of the stores. How is this possible when it’s obvious all these areas have different levels of luminance which significantly exceed the dynamic range of the camera?

For this shot I was just trying to get the plane in between the two pylons. The cool thing here, and what makes everyone go “wow” when they see it is the obvious timing involved in getting the clean cut, the trail of paper on the wing and the stopped propeller.

During a recent workshop I was out at a place I’ve nicknamed “The Fishwat” in Suphanburi. It’s one of the many temples that protects a certain stretch of a river from fishing and allows visitors to feed the fish and of course they raise funds by selling fish food.
